Riley…Would it kill him to speak less?
Lin Mo glanced at him speechlessly.
The tavern owner was stunned for a moment before he said in surprise,"That's right! Why didn't I think of that! Lin Mo, you…Who exactly are you? Why did the admiral personally invite you?”
Why? Lin Mo also wanted to know why.
She had rejected him countless times, but he still shamelessly invited her one after another.
Were they all so thick-skinned?
Fortunately, Qing Zhi was lazy and gave up after being rejected once.
If he met a few more guys like Karp, he would be annoyed to death.
Lin Mo did not answer the tavern owner's question and continued to drink silently.
" Haha," Riley laughed." Your state of mind is indeed suitable for sword practice. You might even become the youngest sword master in the world."”
"Not interested." Lin Mo was speechless.
Riley continued," Reputation is not something that you can say you don't want or are not interested in. When your strength reaches a certain level, everyone will label you as the strongest. At that time, even if you don't want to be a sword hero, it's not up to you.”
Indeed.
The so-called strongest was not something that could be casually said. When your strength exceeded people's expectations and surpassed the so-called strongest person, everyone would naturally label you as the strongest. This was not a matter of whether you could decide if you wanted this label or not. It was something that was directly attached to you after others recognized your strength.
That was why Lin Mo felt annoyed.
He did not need these labels.
He didn't want to deal with people, much less fight with them.
He would rather be invisible and hide in the crowd to complete the check-in mission silently. It was enough to see the world's scenery and drink the world's wine.
However, he would always encounter some very troublesome fellows…
Lin Mo finished the last mouthful of wine in the bottle and wiped the wine stain from the corner of his mouth. He said,"Whatever. It doesn't matter what label it is. As long as it doesn't hinder me, anything is fine.”
"How open-minded." Riley smiled." As expected, you're different from everyone I've met. Many adults can't do what you do. Lin Mo, are you really just a child?”
Lin Mo glanced at him and chuckled."" Ten years old. Thank you."
"Hahaha." Riley laughed." Ten years old, you're really interesting.”
The tavern owner looked at the two of them in confusion.
Riley looked at him and said," Boss, bring a few more bottles of wine. I'm going to drink with Lin Mo tonight. Hahaha."”
"Hey, alright." The tavern owner nodded and immediately took down the bottles of wine on the wine cabinet one by one, piling them on the bar counter in front of Lin Mo and Riley.
That night, Lin Mo and Lei Li were so drunk that they almost vomited.
This was the first time Lin Mo had nearly gotten drunk since he came to the pirate world.
Under the guidance of the tavern owner, Lin Mo arrived at the guest room that the tavern owner had arranged for him.
She was just about to fall asleep.
In his mind, the system notification sounded again.
'Beep beep! Drinking with Nether King Riley, signing progress 10%, current total progress is 70%.'
Lin Mo could not help but laugh dryly.
He did not expect that a drinking contest with Riley would trigger a progress mission.
Although there was no reward, it was still a profit.
Lin Mo didn't think much about it and closed his eyes.
A few days later.
When Lin Mo had nothing to do, he would go to town for a walk and then sleep at the best place he had found for an afternoon nap.
Qing Zhi had also set his eyes on that place. The two of them often slept together. One lay on the recliner while the other stood there.
As for Raley, he would occasionally catch a few bounty criminals during the day and ask the tavern owner to bring them to the naval base to exchange for the bounty. Then, he would continue to gamble with the bounty. In just a few days, he had made the casino that was on the verge of bankruptcy completely operate normally.
At night, Lin Mo and Riley drank happily in the tavern.
Just as he had said before, Smoggy would go to Roger's Tavern a few times a day to wait. He really caught some pirates who came secretly ashore after hearing about it.
As for Bartolomeo, he followed Lin Mo almost every day.
It had to be said that this guy's tracking skills were indeed better than Sauron's.
Even so, no matter how far that guy hid, he still couldn't hide from Lin Mo's level-five senses.
Until the day of Roger's death.
Early in the morning, Raley asked the tavern owner for two bottles of rum and left with Lin Mo.
Lin Mo didn't want to go, nor did he need to.
However, he thought that he might be able to trigger the check-in mission, so he followed them out.
The sky outside was gloomy and it was drizzling.
Riley held a black umbrella and walked side by side with Lin Mo.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a small alley at the edge of the central square.
Due to the weather, there were very few people in the square.
Although he didn't see a single navy soldier.
Lin Mo and Riley could both sense that there were actually a large number of navy soldiers hiding in the surrounding buildings.
Once a suspicious person approached the execution platform where Roger was executed, they would be arrested.
"Looks like it won't be easy to go to the execution platform.”Looking at the execution platform that was only 200 meters away, Riley sighed." When Roger was executed, I didn't come. Do you want to know why?”
Lin Mo remained silent.
Actually, he was not very interested.
" You probably don't want to know." Riley glanced at him and laughed." Hehe, if I was there, even if he blamed me, I would have saved that idiot."”
"So…" Lin Mo pointed at the two bottles of wine in Riley's arms and asked," What are you going to do with them?”
Riley did not answer.
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the main street.
Screams filled the square.
There was already very little human traffic, but now, all the people in the square had run away.
"Aiya, what bad luck." " I was planning to wait for more people to get there," said Riley with a faint smile." If I go there now, I'll become a living target for the navy. Hahaha."”
Lin Mo glanced at him speechlessly.
With your strength, would you be afraid of the most useless bullets in the pirate world?
Lin Mo turned his gaze to the main street, which had been engulfed in thick smoke after the explosion.
When the smoke dissipated, there was no one on the main street except for a large hole in the ground that led to the central square.
It was as if the bomb had appeared out of thin air and detonated.
In a certain building.
Smog bit his cigar and used his binoculars to observe the situation on the main street. When he realized that no one had appeared after the smoke had dispersed, he could not help but frown.
At this moment, a marine soldier reported,"Report, there are two suspicious people in the southwest alley."”
Smogg immediately turned the binoculars to the direction the soldier had pointed out.
Sure enough, there were two people standing under a black umbrella at the entrance of a small alley.
The tall man was wearing a hood and could not see his face clearly. However, Smogue could see the short man very clearly.
"Lin Mo?" Smoggy frowned slightly." What is he doing here? Also, the person beside him doesn't look like the owner of Roger's Tavern. Who is it…"
